Part C
The lifetime (expressed in hours) of the electronic panel displaying the competitors' scores is a random variable $T$ that follows the exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda = 10^{-4}$ (expressed in $\mathrm{h}^{-1}$).
- What is the probability that the panel functions for at least 2000 hours?

In this question, $\lambda$ denotes a strictly positive real number. Recall that the mathematical expectation of the random variable $T$ following an exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ is defined by: $\mathrm{E}(T) = \lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \int_{0}^{x} \lambda t \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t} \mathrm{~d}t$. a. Consider the function $F$, defined for all real $t$ by: $F(t) = \left(-t - \frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t}$.
Prove that the function $F$ is an antiderivative on $\mathbb{R}$ of the function $f$ defined for all real $t$ by: $f(t) = \lambda t \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t}$. b. Deduce that the mathematical expectation of the random variable $T$ is equal to $\frac{1}{\lambda}$.
